Am I Right or Wrong?

May 22, 2007

The government are now threatening to charge motorists £1.20 per mile for travelling on major roads.

I believe the government under-estimated the success of the stop-smoking campaign, hence the good chancellor (I joke of course) suddenly noticed the vast reduction in tax going into his coffers from cigarette and tobacco sales. In panic mode, the government as a whole have been directed to come up with wizard taxing schemes to cover the shorfall, hence the numerous new taxes we learn of each day!

Am I right or totally wrong? Please tell me!
